Graham Coxon and Rose Elinor Dougal’s The Waeve share gritty new single ‘Broken Boys’
Graham Coxon and Rose Elinor Dougal‘s The Waeve have shared a new single, ‘Broken Boys’ – you can listen to it below.The song serves as the third preview of the Blur guitarist and Pipettes singer’s second studio album ‘City Lights’, which is out on September 20 via Transgressive (pre-order/pre-save here).Produced by James Ford, the Cabaret Voltaire-inspired track opens with distorted guitar, and finds the duo leaning into a gritty, garage rock sound.“Fuck your party/ You make me wanna throw my soul away/ Left in the dark so I never/ No, never/ Find the way out,” Coxon sings. “You’re dressing up just to take them down/ Oh/ You’re dressing up just to take them down.”‘Broken Boys’ is accompanied by a suitably dark and disorientating official visualiser, created by Tom Pallant.
